Fwd: [tor-talk] Possible upcoming attempts to disable the Tor network
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Roger Dingledine <arma@mit.edu> Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2014 17:19:05 -0500 Subject: [tor-talk] Possible upcoming attempts to disable the Tor network To: tor-talk@lists.torproject.org The Tor Project has learned that there may be an attempt to incapacitate our network in the next few days through the seizure of specialized servers in the network called directory authorities. (Directory authorities help Tor clients learn the list of relays that make up the Tor network.) We are taking steps now to ensure the safety of our users, and our system is already built to be redundant so that users maintain anonymity even if the network is attacked. Tor remains safe to use. https://blog.torproject.org/blog/possible-upcoming-attempts-disable-tor-netw... --Roger -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk

I'll repeat my comments from HackerNews - Why carry out the raids if everyone in the Tor community knew that an imminent raid was to be carried out? Smells to me more of fear mongering from the TLAs with the aim to discredit anonymity within the network rather than evidence gathering etc. Alfie -- Alfie John alfiej@fastmail.fm

Because the Tor community is a very small subset of the population at large and they are not primary target of the PsyOp MSM propaganda campaign that will doubtless accompany such an attack?
